Fellow Seibertronian Decepticon Sunstorm found a post online from TF Fan Chainclaw which relates to images of unrevealed toys he saw. He gives a detailed list of his thoughts on them below but here is the breakdown. Remember of course, that since this is all unrevealed items, take this with a grain of salt, as we do when we usually get rumours of this kind. Not only that these are subject to a persons point of view, but there have been many occurences of Hasbro not releasing a product that was being developed. Now onto the latest rumours of toys that might come out at the tail end of 2016 or in 2017:

Headmaster Laser Prime which looks to be inspired by both Star Convoy and G2 Prime.

Headmaster Triplechanger Megatron which can turn into a jet and a tank. Will probably be used for Blitzwing.

Getaway as a repaint of Chromedome.

Headmaster Triggerhappy (his G1 toy was a Targetmaster).

Headmaster Hot Rod

Headmaster Triplechanger Alpha Trion (while we have seen the art for this toy, Chainclaw did expand on the vehiclemode looking like Vector Prime's).

Transformers Convention & Club Exclusives Alpha Trion Gallery

Headmaster Weirdwolf

Headmaster Doublecross

Magnus Prime, which is a blue redeco of Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus, as a reference to the Diaclone Ultra Magnus.

Transformers Generation One Diaclone Ultra Magnus (Movie Preview Version Ultra Magnus) Gallery

Tidal Wave which may share the mold with Broadside. Probably a triple changer and thus a voyager headmaster.

Decepticon Clones made up of components looking like the Predaking ones. For example there was a Horri-Bull which could double as Tantrum.

Legends Sharkticon (Gnaw)

Legends Reflector (Shockwave redeco)

Legends Kickback

Legends Brawn

SDCC Fort Max comes with Red Sword. This was already hinted at in a previous leak which mentioned an exclusive sword.

Here is the detailed breakdown with extra descriptions and thoughts on what Chainclaw saw:

Chainclaw wrote:An anonymous friend of mine showed me a bunch of stuff on his computer last night that Hasbro is working on. A couple things were just concept art, or those packets they show investors. But the majority was actual toys. Anyways, he said I could talk about it online, as long as I didn't mention him by name.

So that said, it would be great to have some images, to represent what I saw when I'm talking to people. So I have a series of requests that are spoilers of what's coming later in 2016 and 2017. So anyone not wanting to know shouldn't read past this point. Cool?

Okay, I saw a Headmaster Star Convoy / Laser Prime from G2. It pretty much looks like Star Convoy, except that star-ish shaped yellow thing on his chest looks blockier, like a letter T. And his shoulders are very Laser Prime, sticking up high, with two circle things on the front of each one. In truck mode he's long nosed, but red. Not black with red flames.

Just as Sentinel Prime was obviously Astrotrain, Headmaster Megatron is obviously Blitzwing, but with a Megatron head. You can see his tank turret on his back, and jet fins on his ankles. He comes with two guns which merge to form his big cannon that can plug into his arm. Megatron's head looks very G1 in head mode. In "Nebulon" mode it has a red torso, and grey limbs.

Chromedome's getting repainted as Getaway. Head looks G1.

Triggerhappy is a headmaster who looks very G1.

Hot Rod is a headmaster who looks G1 in vehicle mode. Robot mode looks vaguely IDW to me. Small waste. Long thinghs. Big hexagonal kneepads with vents in them.

Alpha Trion's a triple changer. Beast Mode is a wolf with a unicorn horn (I have no idea why). Jet mode looks very Vector Prime.

Weirdwolf looks good. Very G1.

Powermaster Prime is getting a Diaclone repaint, so it's a blue COE truck. They seem to be calling it Magnus Prime or something along those lines (I can't remember for sure). Odd, since it's not white.

Tidal Wave seems to be coming back (investor art, photoshopped, rough). Looks like it'll share a mold with Broadside. Vehicle mode seems to be USS Flagg homage. Part of "strength series". Tidal Wave's head is called Powerhouse. Grey body. Green limbs.

Decepticon Clones. Looked to me like they have a Predaking. And the D-clones were Predaking parts. Same with Horri-Bull.

Sharkticon looks very round and G1.

Technobots look like you'd expect. But Afterburner is weird. Instead of making him G1, or just an orange Takara Groove, he's got this really long warped/bent windshield. It looks awkward to me. But that was my only complaint from everything I saw.

SDCC Fort Max comes with red sword. Has blue hands, instead of white.
That's all I can remember right now. Anyways, very excited. Would love to have any of these done up, just for the sake of chatting with friends about it on FB, etc.

Thanks-

A few years ago we would all be like that's so fake but with the last few months rumors have become more or less true in some form so I think this is likely to be accurate in some way.

And many of them such as Getaway sound like things Hasbro would do which helps make it more believable at least in my eyes.

Yeah, rumours of repaints like that and Diaclone Magnus are easier to beleive.

Yeah, who thought we would ever see a Headmaster-Triplechanger-Lion/Wolf/Thing Alpha Trion?

I like most of this. Bit disappointing about broadside and tidal wave being Voyager sized. I think it makes sense to share a mold for them but I think it should be a leader. Also not keen on another blitzwing, especially not one sharing a mold with Megatron. And I could do without a diaclone repaint of prime. Cool idea for those that like them, just not for me.

What does the decepticon clone thing mean? I doubt they would release a bunch of nobody characters for troop building, but the connection to Predaking is even more confusing. I'm all for a Predaking but I would like him to be done right.

So Ultra Magnus is a Prime now, too?! Is he just a redeco or maybe a retool. Would be cool if he's something inbetween CW UM and TR PMOP to have the "shoulder towers".

Like I mentioned before I could really imagine Broadside, and so Tidalwave now, being Leader classes with a base mode which looks like an aircraftcarrier. But to hear that Broadside is now more likely to happen... :DANCE:

For your friend's sake, I hope Hasbro doesn't provide unique false leads to different employees as a technique for identifying leaks.

So if this is all true then we have our Predaking.

Horribull - tantrum
Horribull - headstrong
Wingspan - divebomb
Pounce - rampage
New mold? - razorclaw

If he is to go with Megatron, then he would be voyager class.

If you read the description below, the author states that he is not certain of the name. Also, I find it really weird how an homage to Diaclone Magnus would be a blue version of the PMOP mold and NOT the actualy Magnus mold.

We are not certain its a voyager, that is just extrapolation from the fact that its a triple changer. The aircraft carrier mode could be a base mode instead and they could both be leaders, nothing is known beyond what is written in the quote in the article which is:

Tidal Wave seems to be coming back (investor art, photoshopped, rough). Looks like it'll share a mold with Broadside. Vehicle mode seems to be USS Flagg homage. Part of "strength series". Tidal Wave's head is called Powerhouse. Grey body. Green limbs.

Hot Rod eh? Could be cool (I hope it's not like the IDW Rod though cos I loathe that design). Though I worry his head is too round to successfully function as a Titan Master without making it blocky and ugly like what happened to Scourge. But with Blurr and Hot Rod could we see Kup too?

Weirdwolf and Alpha Trion both are wolves? Wonder which one could possibly get a Carnivac repaint? Most likely Weirdwolf but I'd like to see what the bot modes look like. I still have my custom painted Cybertron Snarl as Carnivac but would like an official figure (if it measures up to my high standards for one of my all time fave characters).

That's because the original has no real base mode. I think this is really the only reason but so like I said, a mold in between would be awesome.

All of these headmaster rumors make it really hard for me to believe that titans return is only going to be 4 waves. I think the transmissions source got it wrong and we'll get a full year and a half from this line.

The "horns" are actually the tips of his wings, I guess.

Wait a second! We have already seen that Alpha T has LION heads hanging off of him, so how/why would he turn into a unicorn wolf? Was this informant actually looking at Vector PRime?!?!

My guess is that the person saw the toy and mistook the lion for a wolf. After all, others on here who saw the Alpha Trion artwork said that his lion head shoulders look more like wolf head to them. So it could just be one person seeing one thing and thinking it's another thing.

It could still just be a year, which would mean 16 deluxes, 8 voyagers and 5-8 leaders. Especially if Tidal Wave turns out to be a leader which makes more and more sense the way I see it, since both he and boardside have a mode tha is just a base (folded out plane/ship)

Now lets look at all these rumours and what we know:

Deluxes:

1. Blurr
2. Scourge
3. Hardhead
4. Skullcruncher
5. Mindwipe
6. Chromedome
7. Brinstorm
8. Weirddwolf
9. Getaway
10. Triggerhappy
11. Hot Rod
12. Highbrow

The rest could be the Decepticon Clones. And those components could be reused later for Predaking in the third Prime Wars part.

Voyagers:

1. Galvatron
2. Sentinel Prime
3. Astrotrain
4. AlphaTrion
5. Laser Prime
6. Megatron
7. Blitzwing
8. Vector Prime ??????

Leaders:

Blaster/Soundwave
PMOP/Magnus Prime
TidalWave/Boradside

The sharkticon is a leged figure so he could be in any wave.

Very nice that we are getting characters that are long overdue, but making them all Headmasters is overkill.

As someone pointed out there is no chance Takara can make them have regular transformations as there is no room for a head to store. Maybe they can do some retooling?

OK. Ya know after scrolling up and looking at the art, I actually can see that might be a wolf. Long muzzle, ears are set back pretty far. The mane is deceptive.
Well now I'm even more excited to Alpha Tryiton! I like wolves, and lions, tigers, and bears... OH MY!

On some or maybe all figures, especially the Leaders with their helmets, they could somehow use the place where the Headmasters' cockpits are.

Some more stuff:

Chainclaw wrote: don't know if the Decepticon Clones are headmasters. They were part of the thing for investors. That was the same image with Broadside/Tidal Wave, and Powerhouse (who looks like he is the head of Tidal Wave. He had a grey body, and green limbs). Kind of this photshopped placeholder thing. Different than most of the others, which looked like final toys (not CGI mockups or anything). That makes me think they'll get revealed soon. Too far along otherwise.
A LOT of the new toys were Headmasters. I suspect kind of like how right now everything combines, next year everything will be a Headmaster. Seemed that way anyways. Stuff that was a Targetmaster or Powermaster before are becoming Headmasters. Even the Monsterbot Doublecross is becoming a Headmaster.

I did not see Abominus. But I am hopeful that having a two headed dragon like Doublecross means he'll get redone as Hun-Grrr.

Note: This not exactly what he said, as I have edited two quotes into one to make more sense.

EDIT: WJ88, you forgot Highbrow on your list.

Hi guys, Chainclaw here

Wow, I was not expecting this to blow up like it has. All I was really trying to do was request some Digibash art from Siegfried07, over at TFW2005. I'm super excited by what I saw last night, and just wanted some pics on my computer to look at.

That said, I'm noticing some misconceptions. The first of which is a lot of references to Size Class. I never really mentioned sizes, so not sure where those ideas are even coming from.

Me saying a "blue PM Prime" was just a slip of the tongue. I meant to say a "blue U.M." Again, I was being kind of fast and loose, because I was just trying to ask for art. And IIRC Siegfried already did Diaclone digibashes of Prime and Magnus. Thus I wasn't spening a lot of time on it.

Tidal wave not seperating into the dark fleet is a travesty.. God damn I wish someone would make an upgrade kit for armada TW to give him knees and let his comibining gimmick work with CW armada megs since this is the only TW we will be getting..

Broadside should have totally been leader class.. Dont know how much better he could be compared to FP assaulter but I guess ill have to wait and see since I do have issues with FP assaulter being so heavy and some questionable design flaws..

Tank Jet Megs/Blitzwing.. if it turns out great then I might have to choose which to sell off.. Gen Blitzwing or Megasteel Megs.

If Laser Prime turns out amazing and they do a scourge repaint.. *sighs as I look at my recently repainted battle tanker and ex black convoy*

Glad Hot Rod isnt a remold of chromedome. Getaway being a remold of chromedome worries me, hope they have the shoulderpads, meaning it'd have to be a pretty damn extensive remold.. especially if he gets a windscreen chest.

Im thinking Triggerhappy will be a remold of Highbrow.

Hope weirdwolf will be repainted or remolded into something else.. I have Quad U and I have no intention of letting it go.

Oh, I forgot to mention, Laser Prime / Star Convoy comes with 2 heads. One is like a normal Prime. The other has that Star Convoy forehead crest thing.

Did not see a lot of this coming, but if this this true, I greatly look forward to more of the 13, Broadside, and Hot Rod. I love that he sounds slightly IDW cause I love that design. Got some great potential here! though why there would be another Prime and then a Megatron (both triple changers) in this line I cannot fathom. :MAXIMAL:

Two things if you wouldn't mind, did you see tidal waves alt modes? And how does double cross look?

You ended your post saying you'd hope to discuss this online so I thought it would be fun to propogate it here and have more people to talk about this with

I would like to welcome you to our boards! I am sure many have questions for you, we also love to discuss and speculate

That said, I'm noticing some misconceptions. The first of which is a lot of references to Size Class. I never really mentioned sizes, so not sure where those ideas are even coming from.

Size was not mentionned, and as proof I kept your entire quote for anyone to read. Any size is just guess work from me and others. Voyager for Megatron/Blitzwing makes perfect sense since its a triple changer with 2 alt modes. Leader for Braodside makes sense since not only does it work with scale (of him and tidal wave) but it also works since one of their alt modes could be simply a base, which is what the aircraft carrier was (actually I realize this now both toys have a aicraft carrier mode).

Me saying a "blue PM Prime" was just a slip of the tongue. I meant to say a "blue U.M." Again, I was being kind of fast and loose, because I was just trying to ask for art. And IIRC Siegfried already did Diaclone digibashes of Prime and Magnus. Thus I wasn't spening a lot of time on it.

Ok, that makes way more sense. And I hope my post helped you see why he is blue and not white

D-Maximus_Primal wrote:another Prime and then a Megatron (both triple changers)

Both of these have been rumoured previously and everyone concurs that there is no indication that Prime is a triplechanger. He is a long nose truck cab.

Decepticon Sunstorm wrote:EDIT: WJ88, you forgot Highbrow on your list.

Your right. I didnt add him because he wasnt part of either current reveals of the chainclaw rumours. But yeah, its true he's there and I added him.

The Transmissions Podcast stated that Laser Prime/Star Convoy and Megatron were Voyagers

So is it a repaint of UM, or is it a mix between the two, like IDW Delta Magnus?

steals_your_goats wrote:All of these headmaster rumors make it really hard for me to believe that titans return is only going to be 4 waves. I think the transmissions source got it wrong and we'll get a full year and a half from this line.

It could still just be a year, which would mean 16 deluxes, 8 voyagers and 5-8 leaders. Especially if Tidal Wave turns out to be a leader which makes more and more sense the way I see it, since both he and boardside have a mode tha is just a base (folded out plane/ship)

Now lets look at all these rumours and what we know:

Deluxes:

1. Blurr
2. Scourge
3. Hardhead
4. Skullcruncher
5. Mindwipe
6. Chromedome
7. Brinstorm
8. Weirddwolf
9. Getaway
10. Triggerhappy
11. Hot Rod
12. Highbrow

The rest could be the Decepticon Clones. And those components could be reused later for Predaking in the third Prime Wars part.

Voyagers:

1. Galvatron
2. Sentinel Prime
3. Astrotrain
4. AlphaTrion
5. Laser Prime
6. Megatron
7. Blitzwing
8. Vector Prime ??????

Leaders:

Blaster/Soundwave
PMOP/Magnus Prime
TidalWave/Boradside

The sharkticon is a leged figure so he could be in any wave.

i look forward to Boradside & Brinstorm, whoever they are :-?

I am greatly anticipating Tidalwave, would be awesome to see him in TT's epic color scheme, even better if hasbro released him in cartoon accurate colors too :-?

Excited about triple-changing megs/blitzwing, hope he's/they're better than gen blitz...

Oh, I hadn't meant to point fingers at anyone for mentioning the size thing. Just, what I saw was usually a Skype pic of a computer monitor of a figure on an otherwise white page. So there was nothing to let me know how big anything was.

As I was skimming through this thread I just noticed some fans seemed dissapointed by things like Tidal Wave not being bigger. That sort of thing. If anything I just wanted to give those guys hope.

Now, someone asked for specifics about Tidal Wave... what I saw looked like the old Tidal Wave toy, photoshopped to have G1 Broadside's head on it. For the vehicle mode, they showed what my friend said was the USS Flagg. So in that case, it wasn't really the actual toy. It just seemed like a thing someone put together for investors (who were not TF fans). The jet they showed with that for instance, was from TFPrime (I think). Dreadwing? Darkwing? Whoever that guy was who wound up as a zombie in an alternate dimension.

I will do my best to answer questions.

Posted by william-james88 on February 23rd, 2016 @ 4:05pm CST

Thanks Chainclaw!

For fans who dont know what the USS Flagg is, its a GI Joe toy:

This really could be done as a base mode instead of a second alt mode which means it could be a Leader just as much as a voyager. Though a Leader makes more sense if we are going by the fact that Titans Return is only lasting 4 waves and the slots for Voyagers are all being taken.

To answer your question, Doublecross looked very good to me. Sort of what you'd expect, he was basically a bulkier/thicker looking version of the G1 toy. My buddy was telling me they got rid of some kibble by incorporating it into the lower legs in robot mode.

His head comes off and transforms into "the white lion from Battle Beasts." he said a lot of these are very Japanese oriented, so Doublecross in particular is an homage to an episode of G1 from Japan.

Which reminds me, I forgot to mention this anywhere else, and am not sure how to put it into words... I seemed to see art for Siren's body. Like it was one of those shots like we've been seeing, where the head is landing on a body, with little rockets and stuff coming out of it's neck. But the center of the image was kind of just faded out. Again, like a placeholder for a later image. Like they painted the background, and made the area where the body would go lighter. Really hard to describe. But definitely seemed to indicate a Siren body is coming.

So again, ore Japanese stuff.

is going to be more cartoon than toy accurate in this line, that's very likely but let's see how it shapes up.

I love the Generations version. I think he's great, except of the shoulder flaw, and I really like the face gimmick.

I think it was just a blue Ultra Magnus. Sorry for the confusion earlier. When I posted my original thing, I wasn't proofreading or taking my time.
